Not-so-daily bits and pieces about my art, stuff for sale, and every day epiphanies

Timing November 4, 2007

I’ll get into the timing issue later, but now it’s a little after 8 am (thanks to daylight savings starting today) and I’m sitting around waiting to list my auctions. 8 am is definitely not a good time to have them end!

About the dolls… These dolls are a LOT of work, not only making the beads (which takes about 3-4 hours, depending on how many canes I have to pull for them), but making the accessories and wiring them together (which takes another 3-4 hours, longer if I have to sculpt something from polymer clay and then paint it), then you have to count taking photos and editing said photos. If I were to price them per the lampworking standard, they’d start at auction somewhere around $300, but that’s just not feasible. Sheesh! Pricing is a necessary evil.

This weekend we had a great time playing in the leaves, then burning the leaves and some fallen branches from our little forest to roast tiny hot dogs 🙂 Let’s see if I can find some little photos to show off.
